...case is a toss-up. Me-too marketing happens in nearly every product category--think "ice" beer and "lite" everything. But there is a point when imitation becomes more than flattery. If Gallo is found guilty, it could be forced to redesign its Turning Leaf packaging and turn over millions in profits to Kendall-Jackson...
